Sahih al-Bukhari 5438 (Book 70, Hadith 66) #5212
Feeding the Poor with Sacrifice Meat

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) forbade the storage of the meat of sacrifices for three days so that the rich could feed the poor.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet did not do that (ie, forbade the storage of the meat of sacrifices for three days) except (he did so) so that the rich would feed the poor. But later we used to keep even trotters to cook, fifteen days later. The family of Muhammad did not eat wheat bread with meat or soup to their satisfaction for three successive days.
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ مَا فَعَلَهُ إِلاَّ فِي عَامٍ جَاعَ النَّاسُ، أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ الْغَنِيُّ الْفَقِيرَ، وَإِنْ كُنَّا لَنَرْفَعُ الْكُرَاعَ بَعْدَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ، وَمَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مَنْ خُبْزِ بُرٍّ مَأْدُومٍ ثَلاَثًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged people to share their wealth and resources with those who are less fortunate. He forbade people from storing up meat from animal sacrifices for more than three days so that those who were wealthy could give it to those who were in need. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous and share our blessings with others. We should not hoard our wealth but instead use it to help others in need. It also shows us how even though Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his family did not have much money or food at times they still shared what they had with others.
